Just noticed that! Thank you, thank you!!!

Thanks for the additional feedback, Lowell! We will be adding the menus back in for the next version, due out soon :)


Awesome, great to hear.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think you folks did some smart things with ClipboardFusion 5.0; nice UI update, some persistent settings between reboots, and so forth.

Could you kindly add an option for the end-user to choose which menus to appear on right-clicking the tray icon? I really, really miss the History Menu being a menu, not another window I have to close or move out of the way. Sometimes having that window can be really handy but 98% of the time it feels clumsy and is a step backwards if we don't have an option to enable the regular History Menu. I'd envision a section where the user can select things like the History Menu, Pinned Items (as before) to appear as true menu-type flyouts so we can get to this much quicker and more seamless. Regarding your suggestions:

1. Key combination... I don't always want to have a key combination; I have so many already it's one more to remember. But also this still just opens the window, like the old clipboard manager window. It doesn't go away when I click the item I want so that's a lot more window management than should be.

2. Option to keep the Clipboard Manager open... This is great in about 2% of my application; maybe I'm doing repetitive tasks and need to refer to 5 recent clipboard items over and over. But in all other uses it now wastes screen space and gets in the way of everything else I'm doing until I close the window. Again, more window management.

3. Classic Style History Menu macro... This is not too bad of an option, but still doesn't help with previous menus like pinned items. Also not accessible with a mouse.

If you could make the right-click menu have a custom section that we could add/remove items from the Clipboard Manager that would fit everyone's needs; all those who want the classic menus could have them. All those who don't, don't have to select anything and the custom section would be collapsed. Thoughts? ]]> RE: ClipboardFusion 5.0 just ruined my favorite product. https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboardfusion-50-just-ruined-my-favorite-product/?ID=05cc6210-b28e-4519-b864-d5969ee70c32#2 Fri, 29 Sep 2017 18:12:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboardfusion-50-just-ruined-my-favorite-product/?ID=05cc6210-b28e-4519-b864-d5969ee70c32#2 ClipboardFusion Sorry to hear that you're not a fan of the new ClipboardFusion. Allow me to try to explain a few things that might help here before you jump to downgrading to ClipboardFusion 4.2.
  • On the Settings > HotKeys tab, you can add a key combination for the "Show History Menu" function to open it quickly.
  • On the Settings > Clipboard Manager tab, there's an option to keep the Clipboard Manager open,
    so that you don't have to re-open it every time you want to paste.
  • On the Settings > Macros tab, if you download the "Classic Style History Menu" Macro, you can assign a key combination to that to get a simple context menu for the history items.

Hopefully one of those suggestions will help ease the pain, but all that being said, we love to get customer feedback and will definitely add this to our list of considerations for the next version. If you would still rather roll back to 4.2, you can download it here. ]]> ClipboardFusion 5.0 just ruined my favorite product. https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboardfusion-50-just-ruined-my-favorite-product/?ID=05cc6210-b28e-4519-b864-d5969ee70c32 Fri, 29 Sep 2017 17:30:50 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.clipboardfusion.com/Discussions/View/clipboardfusion-50-just-ruined-my-favorite-product/?ID=05cc6210-b28e-4519-b864-d5969ee70c32 ClipboardFusion My blood is boiling. I literally can't believe how idiotic you guys are. You literally just RUINED, ABSOLUTELY RUINED my favorite software tool in years. Just yesterday, I was right
clicking away and grabbing from my clipboard history, and every time, I thought, how did I ever live with this.

FOR THIS TOOL TO WORK IN NEEDS TO BE FAST AND ONLY REQUIRE ONE INTERACTION!!!!!!

Now, with 5.0, the fact I have to click, and wait for a window to pop up, and then go pick from my history, means this product this product is useless. TOTALLY USELESS.

I'm praying to god I can downgrade and install the old version.

I really love all the new features. By that, I mean, you took the one good thing, THE CORE OF THIS PRODUCT, and tore it out. You've made yourself feel good and earn your paycheck by "adding features" when in reality, all you did was ruin it. Just leave well enough alone in the future.

OR IF YOU ADD "FEATURES", at least make them optional, so you don't ruin things for everyone who actually uses this tool to do work.

I WANT MY RIGHT CLICK, GRAB HISTORY, DROP DOWN POP UP BACK!!!!! ]]>
